NFL Supplemental Draft: Will Sorsby Play?

Quarterback Brendan Sorsby submitted an application for the NFL's supplemental draft on or before June 22, 2026. However, the league has yet to confirm Sorsby's eligibility or announce if a supplemental draft will even occur. The official deadline for applications was June 22, 2026, suggesting the NFL is awaiting all submissions before proceeding.

Sorsby appears to meet the criteria for the supplemental draft, having lost his NCAA eligibility and not applying for early admission to the April draft. Despite this, the NFL might argue he was eligible for the April draft or for the 2026 college season. It is considered unlikely the NFL will attempt to block his entry, as any sanctions would likely follow his selection in the draft, allowing the Commissioner more authority.

If the NFL attempts to prevent Sorsby from entering the supplemental draft, it could face legal challenges, with legal expert Jeffrey Kessler potentially representing Sorsby. Previous precedents involving players Kayshon Boutte and Hunter Dekkers, who bet on their own teams, suggest the NFL should not take action against Sorsby, as no action was taken against them.
